OMFG, did I have some crazy dreams this morning!!! I only slept fitfully for about two and a half hours so I'm not sure how my brain did this much dreaming, but it did.

Dream #1: I was homeless again and really hungry and desperate for food. It was late at night and nothing was really open but I found this tiny dive of a fast food burger joint. I went in and there were no people, including no employees. The concept was that they cooked your burger for you and then you put everything you wanted on it out in the restaurant (if you can even really call it that) part of the place. Kinda like a salad bar. So there was food out and no one looking so I stole some and left.

I was out in the parking lot and there were two other homeless people who were going in there to steal food, but they were a lot older than me, and haggard looking, and kind of like what you might stereotypically think a homeless person. Anyways, what I ended up stealing was a bag of four kiwis, which makes no sense in the context of burgers but whatever.

So, then--this woman comes flying out of the restaurant into the parking lot, she was the owner, and she just started attacking the three of us and being really shaming over the fact that we were homeless in a very mean way. I yelled at her in defense of the two elderly homeless folks and beat her in the face with the bags of kiwis. Then I felt bad.

Ok, these dreams will be posted in stages LOL.

Boy did I have a weird one this morning. We were in the country at my grandparents' old house, and I was going to go fishing with who started out to be my brother. My brother turned into other people throughout the dream - some I recognized, some I did not.

We grabbed our fishing poles and headed out into the woods. All of the sudden we walk up on a little brown bear cub. It was very cute, but then I started getting nervous because I knew the mom had to be somewhere nearby.

We saw the mama bear further out and she started charging us, so we took off running. She caught up to us. We were cornered and she was roaring at us. I decided that maybe if we threw her some food, she would like us and not want to kill us. I started throwing cheese crackers at the bear (seriously lol). Well, it worked! The mama bear came over and sat down by us, and I started petting her. She had the softest fur that I had ever felt.

At this point, we decided it was best to go back to the house, so off we went. I was carrying the bear cub on my hip like a toddler and the mama bear was walking along with us. However now we have the addition of this large golden dog that was groomed to look like a lion (mane and tail). The dog also had extremely soft fur.

We get back to the house and my family is all there talking in the living room and they were basically like...why do you have a bear and lion with you? I explained that the dog was not a lion, but just groomed to look like one. They seemed fine with that explanation like it was completely normal. Before I woke up, I was lying on the floor petting the lion-dog's mane.

I had a dream that I lived with some woman, and she came home while I was asleep and tossed out all my soup that was cooking because "she didn't know"...


now, after the events of today, I interpret that dream to be "you're not eating your soup"


I cooked my irish soup (craibachan) .... and it was fine.. and withing the 5 minutes of moving burners, the entire bottom burned and the smell and taste penetrated the whole of the soup making it completely inedible.....


grrrrrrrr. very grrrrrrrr. I should have stuck with corned beef and cabbage.

Yep. :) I think once you've been a vegetarian for 25 years, your mind just doesn't even think to dream another way. (I feel incredibly old now saying how long I've been a vegetarian. Omg.)

Haha, not quite but I was really young.

I took a nap this afternoon and was rewarded with this crazy dream.
 

I was at work and one of the guys I worked with was in a glass office with his boss who was giving him a quarterly review. I looked over and gestured to give some moral support to my coworker. I had a feeling it was going to be a bad meeting because this boss was reknowned as an infamous jerk around the office.

A little later, as I was getting ready to leave for the afternoon, I grabbed a notebook and looked over again to wave goodbye and noticed the boss pacing, and yelling at my coworker who was standing casually by a window, arms folded. I made another surreptitious gesture of support and solidarity and became very angry when I suddenly noticed the boss - who had a big mustache like in the 80s - was smoking furiously.

Then, in my own self-righteous indignation, I looked down and noticed a flaming cigarette in my own hand! I looked up and saw a sign that said "No fumar" with a picture of a cigarette and a circle with a line through it. This was odd only because I'm not Spanish so upon awakening I wondered why I'm suddenly dreaming in a language I don't speak very well.

Anyway, so I ran to the stairwell where fumar was apparently allowed, lol, and finished my cigarette. Then I went to my friend's house because there were two dirty square glass vases in the kitchen sink and I really wanted to wash them. They had sticky notes on them and one of the sticky notes said "Tommy." I don't know anyone named Tommy, so whatever.

Then I left and went to borrow the same friend's boat which was actually a bathtub - like one of those claw foot types. I got in the boat and took it out in the ocean. It was going very fast but didn't have a motor and I passed some people who looked familiar - I recognized one from my sangha - who were in their own boats.

Then my notebook and something else fell out of the boat. I wanted to look over the tall sides of the tub, but when I did it almost tipped over. I remember being very terrified at that time and I said to myself, "Smiling, you are on the ocean and you will die if you don't get serious about driving this bathtub."

I noticed a drain plug where a drain plug would normally be located in an old tub. I also vaguely remember thinking to myself what would happen if I pulled it out.

My seriousness overcame my fear and and I became hyper focused on piloting the vessel, but then the phone rang and woke me up and it was my friend whose vases I had washed in the dream calling. I recounted the dream and we both laughed so hard.

It was kind of a fun dream - it felt like I was in a cartoon - even though it wasn't animated and it was really scary at that one point where I stared my impending death in the face, lol.

Ive been havung dreams about a white horse.. In sime dreams the horse just walks behind me in a big open field... In others the horse is standing in my back yard.. Not sure what it means..

I had a horrible nightmare once that I was in a hot tub and the lady below appeared out of nowhere and started trying to drown me. She was smiling the whole time. :watereyes:

Last night I had a doozy....

so...

I had a very hot, very butch boss when I used to work at Home Depot many moons ago....

Last night I dreamed I was helping her reorganize her closet. It had a great footprint but was being used all wrong. Apparently I was a designer because I was planning a reconfiguration of the walkin and bathroom...I guess I watch too much DIY tv....

anywho...

As I'm plugging along I find a STACK of unopened boxer brief packages (which...I happen to know she wears....I just know..) From the floor, the pile was literally almost as tall as me...which isnt saying much but still...

THEN as I'm going along I started to find pretty frilly things. Bikini bottoms and such. She WAS a woman that could rock a bikini....

I dont really know where the dream was going...definitely not where I wanted it to....lol but it was still nice to see my long ago crush...even if it was in a dream <3

I don't always remember my dreams but I do have some I wish I didn't have. Lately they have been about people who have been in my life that in one way or another wasn't good for me, in these dreams they aren't even in the order they came in my life its like they fade in and out repetedly. I'm thinking why now?? They are and have been long gone for years, yes, they hurt me deeply but I'm not glutton for punishment...be gone all of you, I have made the mistakes of knowing all of you, I still have the mental scars from it all and have learned my lesson in trusting people who haven't earned the right to be in my life.

Last night I had a dream that I died. My family was at the house we lived in growing up and that my ex and I lived in after my dad died. I was sick and they said today would be the day. They cut these things out of my throat and I was carrying them in my hand. I was talking to my younger sister (she's my beneficiary on my annuity) and I told her I wanted her to take some of money and have me cremated and my ashes to be scattered around the firepit and the rest to be scattered at a beach and she could take her boys and have a vacation. Then I was talking to my older brother and told him he could have my jeep but I wanted him to keep it in the family. He said he didn't want it.

Then I saw my cousin who is dead and she was waving to me to come with her. I ran to the house and my family was leaving and no one could hear or see me. I tried talking to my nephews but nothing.

I woke up more than a little disturbed and even got a bit choked up when telling my mother about it. She said maybe it's a premonition. I'd better get my affairs in order.

My dream was bizarre in normal ways if that makes any sense.

The first thing I saw was yearbook from a college, with the picture of a woman (butch) in it. I could describe the woman out to a T but I don't think I have ever seen her in real life.

In the next scene me and the woman were walking through some kind of tropical marketplace on some sort of vacation together. In my dream I had the sense that we were in a serious relationship.

At the market, we picked out two rings. Both of the rings we selected had porcelain babies affixed to them. Her "baby ring" had odd flat horns on it. I remember thinking that that was weird. As I looked down at my ring...I woke up.

I had this dream about 2 months ago, when i was sleeping on the outdoor serenity deck of a cruise, after heavy meditation. It is the only dream that I have ever completely committed to memory.

I was sitting in a psychology 101 class I had to take in college. Up until a few years ago, very often I always had dreams of flying.

I had not read the chapter assigned for this night in particular. The instructor guided the discussion to dreams and what they mean. A couple of people shared their dreams. Then I shared all about my flying dreams in great detail ... about how I would go way above the telephone poles and then do nose dives toward the ground, pull up just in time and then soar even higher ... telling how exhilerating it was for me ... and that I always woke up feeling super refreshed after my flying dream ... people were kind of giggling and snickering as I elaborated ... I finished and happened to turn the page in our book. It described flying dreams to be sexual in nature and also closely connected to orgasm. I wanted to fucking well die!!! LOL!

I still have flying dreams but not as often. I used to think about sex, sex, sex all the time every day. Happy that burden has lifted somewhat. It was way too intense for me not to mention emotionally unhealthy.

Off that dream subject but another type of dream I have I would like to mention ...
When I have a horrible nightmare that I seem unable to get out of without waking up yelling, sweating and thrashing, 99% of the time I have eaten spicy food after 9:00 p.m.

I wanted to add, I too have often had dreams where I was about to die or dead..these dreams troubled me also but after many years ive come to the conclusion that for the most part they signify some kind of transition..not any one kind but something of a significant & personal nature in my life..i hope you are feeling better:rrose:

Thank you, kittygrrl. I am definitely at a crossroads so that makes sense. I have spent more time with my mother and the rest of my family in the last 30 days than I have in the last few years. It's nice but also overwhelming. I need to decide whether to stay or return to Atlanta. Decisions, decisions.

Someone else suggested no cheese before bed. Probably a good idea as well. ;)

Last night I dreamnt I was waiting for an elevator with my daughter and a man I was apparently dating. He looked like Harrison Ford...hmm

Well, the elevator seemed to be malfunctioning and in was going to look for the stairs. Suddenly it chimed like they do when they arrive and the doors opened. "Harrison" was excited not to do stairs and I looked into the elevator and all it was was the shaft. The car was missing. Harrison was intrigued and went to look and promptly fell over the edge to his death.

It scared the bejesus out of me and luckily I can wake myself from dreams so they don't go on and on....

Poor Harrison :(

Last night or this morning I dreamed that I went into a vacant house, which the occupants had recently moved out of....like I saw them leaving recently lol....

But


When I got downstairs where their bedrooms were, the house looked very lived in...and while I was in the process of figuring that out, they came home. Here I am stuck in their basement trying to find a way out quietly...

Awkward and scary. And god I was so nosey lol

I remember dreaming that my roommate cut my hair off at the nape of my neck (in a pony tail).

I had been complaining that it was unmanageable and in my way and she simply said..."oh. We can fix that." And SNIP....

SO glad it was just a dream

2 all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions...
 

Last night I dreamt that I looked down at the outside of my vagina and it was covered in sesame seeds, lol.

You know; the way a hamburger bun at one of all of our favorite fast-food restaurants is covered with them. And I was a little disappointed because I was trying to take a naughty picture and I just didn't feel that the sesame seeds would add anything aesthetically to the photo.

lol, I don't know....

I dreamed that my roommate and I were dealing pot. But the head boss of the entire operation wanted us to start dealing coke, too. And I was totally against it, and the mob boss put a hit out on my life. I woke up but was still drugged from my meds and by the time I fully woke up, I was in the hallway outside my bedroom with my entire comforter dragging behind me trying to escape. It was that i physically tried to get away that was strange.

Last night I dreamnt I was pregnant. I went to the doctor and he told me so...

As soon as he told me I could start feeling the baby move....it felt just like it did with the girls...

In my dream I was scared because

1. I had no idea how I GOT pregnant

2. I still had 3 years of school to finish

3. I'd be doing it totally alone

4. I rather like my life as it is

However...as the dream progressed I got happy about it. It was a boy and I've never had one before lol. Then I started thinking about all the things I did in the past months. Hiking, cleaning, the occasional beer, chemicals I used...my brain is HUGELY logical...even in dreams.

I decided he was a gift from god or the universe or whatever and I told the universe I was going to name him Sawyer. I like that for a boy's name lately.

Now I wake up to not being pregnant... I feel very Meh.

It would have been a good excuse for my weird cravings and sleep disturbances. But no. They are allllll mine.

Most of my dreams have horses in them somehow, not sure what it means but I enjoy the horses even if its only in my dreams. then there are dreams with people I have no idea why they are in my dreams, sometimes its good and some times not...in some I'm sitting off to the side watching things happen, totally weird.

I dreamed I lived in an elevated apartment. Like above a garage maybe. There were other people with me but I don't k ow who they were to me...

Any who

Some people were out to get us. Again. No idea. Every time we had to leave the house we were super careful and brought weapons. And when we came home we checked the house toake sure they didn't get in. Then finally it came to a head and they did get in and we had to fight them. It felt like Lost met that movie with Will Smith where a virus made everyone zombies

Last night I had a dream I'd actually had a baby...and it was a girl.

She was completely diminutive. I was actually worried about putting her down. She was so funny. Her head seemed even tinier than the rest of her. It was very peculiar.

And in the same dream, my mom and brother came to visit at a house that I didn't recognize. My brother was on a cell phone (which he doesn't actually use one...he's old school) calling out to work so he could visit longer. My mom was sitting on my deck watching the sunset and asking if my property line began at the onion trees...

It was all very odd. But the baby was precious.

It wasn't a weird dream, or I guess it was.

I had a dream where I was romantically involved with my first girl crush (you know the one that made me realize I was attracted to women). But we were in this survival scenario.

I guess it just sort of was weird because I haven't talked to her in a few years and last time we spoke she was married with 2 kids.

I dreamt I was in this house that was on the beach. The doors opened up so that it was almost wide open to the deck.

I remember yellow curtains blowing around and I remember this butch there that, apparently, I was dating. She had brown, sort of curly hair (beach hair) and she was calling me over to her while she was laying in the couch.

Then I woke myself up.

I had a doozie this morning...

So...

I was on my way to a new hiking spot and I recognized that the street I was told to park on was a former client's street. As I get to the end where they live, I see something is going on in the neighborhood and there's no parking to be had. I'm turning around and I see the client and her daughter down the street.

Ad I'm turning around I see something in the road and I get out. It looks like a squished kitten but longer...so I'm looking at it trying to figure out what it is and someone comes over. she says that the poor thing has been there for a week and a half. While we're talking it suddenly moves...I was astounded that the neighborhood drove around it and stepped over it rather than helping. But I picked it up and very abruptly tell the person I'm taking it to the vet....

Later that night...

I'm out for dinner with a large group, only one of which I recognized, and I'm telling them about the cat (it ended up being a cat). Well, the cat took a human form and came to dinner with me. Since they were sitting right there (their gender wasn't obvious to me) I had to talk around the bad stuff.

As an addendum...my friend I recognized at the table now had a British accent and was talking about getting her "rainbow spirit" from her mother.

It was a doozie

Lately I have been dreaming that I became a vegetarian or vegan??? I'm a big meat lover and even tho I flirted with vegetarianism in the past, I always gained a lot of weight so I went back to meat. Well twice now I dreamt I ate no meat and in one dream I was living on a beach in a tiny weird shack or whatever and I was drinking green smoothies and talking to some old lady. In the other dream I was crying because I couldn't find a replacement for cheese and I was making a pizza. There were like 10 parrots flying around and people there I didn't recognize. Very strange!!!!!! I would love to find someone to interpret dreams for me :seeingstars:
